In 2016 she received the prestigious Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters' awarded by the French Government).
An internationally acclaimed soloist renowned for her onstage warmth and brilliance, the ABC’s Limelight cover article in 2007 depicted her as a leading female influence in the world of classical music.
She has given performances ranging from The Sydney Opera House Concert Hall and Sydney's iconic Tilbury Hotel to baroque recitals at La Sainte Chapelle, Paris.

As presenter on Channel Nine’s Getaway, Jane won a People’s Choice award and The Nine Network's 60 Minutes featured a story on her musical philosophy and style.
She has appeared on the same bill as Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras and has collaborated with such prominent artists as Richard Bonynge, Pascale Rogé, The Manhattan Transfer, David Helfgott, Slava Grigoryan, Tina Arena, Rick Price, Nina Perlove, Bertrand Cervera, David Braccini, Tommy Emmanuel, James Morrison, Janis Siegel, Yvonne Kenny, Gerard Willems, Michael Crawford, Simon Tedeschi, and Christopher Hogwood.
This year the Nambucca Heads RSL will be the venue for the official celebration of Australia Day and presentation of awards.
